# Built in verbs.

    I'm using the $bf_FOO ability of the 1.8.p4 server, and due to a problem
    have had to write a verb 40 lines long which should have taken 4.

    In a verb, you can call other verbs like this:
    verb = "FOO";
    #234:(foo)(@args);

    But this does not work with built in functions, -ie
    @verb #0:"bf_foo1 bf_foo2" tnt rxd
    verb = verb[4..length(verb)];
    return (verb)(@args);

    The solution I used was a nice long chain of elseif statements, as I did
    not want to make seperate verbs for each when they called basically the
    same syntax.

    Does anybody know of a better solution?
